Media Distillery nominated for 3 Streaming Media European Innovation Awards
We’re delighted to be in the running for three 2026 Streaming Media European Innovation Awards, recognising solutions that help streaming services create better viewing experiences, automate complex workflows and generate more value from their content.
The awards celebrate the products, services and technologies shaping the European streaming industry today. Media Distillery has been nominated in the following categories:
Streaming Innovation of the Year: Sports Engagement Suite
Our Sports Engagement Suite turns live and long-form sports coverage into highlights, summaries, chapters and other fan-ready viewing experiences.
The solution has recently been in action for Personal, Telecom Argentina’s connectivity and entertainment brand, generating automated football highlights during this summer’s World Cup.
By detecting and packaging key moments at speed and scale, Sports Engagement Suite helps streaming services give fans more ways to catch up, replay the action and continue engaging beyond the live event.
AI Workflow Solution: Search & Discovery Suite
The Search & Discovery Suite generates chapters, topics, video previews and other assets that make long-form content easier to find, choose and watch.
Used by streaming services including NLZIET, Yallo, and Sunrise, the suite combines automated video analysis with generative AI to support content discovery at scale while reducing repetitive editorial work.
The result is less time spent browsing, more ways to experience existing content and greater control over how automation fits into editorial workflows.
Video Advertising Solution: Ad Break Distillery
Ad Break Distillery, part of our Time Marker Suite, automatically identifies ad breaks in long form content and generates accurate ad placement markers for linear, AVoD and FAST content.
These markers can help streaming services make better use of their advertising inventory, manage ad-skipping controls and support premium ad-free viewing options. Customers including Swisscom use the technology to create more flexible viewing and monetisation experiences.
Together, the three nominations reflect Media Distillery’s mission to make video streaming better for everyone: helping viewers find and watch the content they love while enabling platforms to deliver outstanding experiences efficiently and at scale.
We’d welcome your vote for Media Distillery before voting closes on 31 July 2026.
Thetop three finalists in each category will be announced in August, with the winners revealed in the autumn issue of Streaming Media’s European magazine.
